The College(s) I am interested in attending: Marquette University, UIC, U of I, Valparaiso, Loyola, University of Michigan.

My Dream Profession is:  Nursing leading to physician.

When I go to college, I most look forward to: The challenges, as well as the excitements I hope will make me a better person and serve for the positive.

The piece of advice that I would give to a high school freshman about preparing for college is: Be vulnerable, ask for help when they need it. Always do their best because the only person that benefits is themselves.

My hero is:  My family, especially my mom who has guided me through the right path in life.
